Every single thing you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks. That suck might be 100 hard workouts, 100 bland meals, 100 hours of focused work, or 100 hard conversations. Embrace the cost of entry. The answers you seek are found in the actions you avoid.

I'm increasingly convinced that showing up is the key to life. Show up when no one’s watching. Show up when it’s hard. Show up when you don't feel like it. Show up when the rewards are uncertain. Just show up. You can never bet against the person who just keeps showing up.

If you are pinging someone who’s busier than you, you should have a single well-thought-out specific ask. Only ask for something you truly cannot do on your own, and where you have done everything you possibly can by yourself.

For example, if you’re asking someone to send an email on your behalf, you should have a draft message ready. If you’re asking them to sign something, you should prepare a docusign beforehand with the signature blocks indicated. Or if you’re asking for an appointment, you should do it at their convenience.

Asking for time is like asking for capital, so be efficient with your asks.

Major cheat code for life: Follow-through. The easiest way to stand out is to do the thing you said you would do. By showing up and closing loops. On time. Without excuses. Build a reputation for follow-through and the asymmetric opportunities will find you.

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca): The person who writes down the plan has tremendous power, regardless of their role. Very few people actually do it. Yet, that's the question: who wrote down the plan?

You’re absolutely right. Many people are relatively new to card spending optimization and have only recently begun to focus on maximizing their card rewards. They’re thrilled with the rewards they receive and enjoy sharing their experiences on Twitter, which makes us feel like everyone operates in a similar manner.

However, as people gain more experience, they tend to focus on optimizing their card spending for scenarios that make sense to them.

BluSmart fleet is now seamlessly integrated into Uber as UberBlack.
No BluSmart branding on the car. The taxi permit logo and the car model (MG ZS ev) are the clues of course 😉
